Qi Xiao and Wei Chu followed her to the projection room on the second floor.
At this time, the projection room was sparsely populated with about seventeen or eighteen people, both men and women.
When Qi Xiao and Wei Chu entered, they merely glanced up and then paid no further attention.
The two found an empty seat and sat down.
On the giant screen, the original intention of the Order Heavenly Kingdom's establishment and its vision for the future were continuously displayed.
It was all grand narratives, nothing more than talk about how humanity cannot exist without Order, how all things in the world must operate according to Order, and how everyone is equal under Order.
Wei Chu was getting drowsy watching it. He yawned, and once his mouth opened, his chatterbox couldn't be stopped.
"Qi Xiao, let me tell you, whether it's a game, a movie, a novel, or an anime."
"As long as an organization is named 'Order', it's basically the villain. Their end won't be good."
"Ultimately, they'll be overthrown, their leader will be killed, and the organization will fall apart."
"What Order or not Order, it's all just to fool people. Change the word to Light, Justice, Hope, it's all the same meaning."
Qi Xiao, hearing his insightful remarks, immediately became interested:
"Then why did you join?"
"Don't tell me it was for a woman."
"Wrong! Xiao Wan is a girl!"
Qi Xiao: ...
Wei Chu immediately looked like he was reminiscing.
"This brings me to my first meeting with Xiao Wan."
"It's a long story, but I'll make it short."
"I was still a university student at the time. That day, I was playing chess during my evening class,"
"You don't know, my 'Chosen One' build, damn it, fourteen consecutive losses, I was just about to collect my rewards,"
"But suddenly I appeared inside a Train..."
...
"Just when I was almost swallowed by that giant python, do you know how big that giant python was? It was thicker than my Train!"
"Damn it, I'd never seen such a sight! And I wasn't going to back down! Just as I was about to unleash my power,"
"Xiao Wan appeared like a god, poof!"
As Wei Chu spoke of the emotional part, he gesticulated excitedly.
"Do you understand that feeling?"
"So, she saved your life? And that's why you fell for her?"
"A beauty saving a hero, a bit cliché, isn't it?"
"No, it was Xiao Wan's outfit that day that perfectly matched my fetish!"
"Those twin pigtails, JK short skirt, white stockings with chunky shoes—I've always fantasized about having a wife like that."
"In that moment, I finally understood what 'a single glance for ten thousand years' truly meant!"
"What the hell do Order, laws, or justice have to do with me?"
"What's most important for a man? Getting a good wife!"
"In short, wherever Xiao Wan is, I am; I am Xiao Wan's dog."
Qi Xiao clicked his tongue.
How could some people not understand the principle that a simp ranks behind a dog?
"What about you? Why did you come?"
"Me?"
Qi Xiao paused for a second, then calmly said:
"If there's an organization to rely on, then rely on it. It's good to lean against a big tree for shade."
"After all, this place is inherently dangerous. We aren't even the first batch of players; there were four batches before us."
"Hmm... what you said makes sense. Since you're not here for Xiao Wan, I'm relieved."
"Qi Xiao, you're my good brother."
"When Xiao Wan and I get married, you'll be my best man."
"Oh, by the way, are you married yet?"
"You should be, right? After all, you're twenty-eight."
"No, that's not right. These days, twenty-eight isn't that old."
After watching the somewhat boring video, their group was led to the adjacent room.
Then, dedicated staff members handed each person a test paper.
"Everyone, I believe that after the video study just now, you all have a deeper understanding of our Order Heavenly Kingdom."
"This is a small questionnaire. Please answer carefully. This is also part of your assessment content."
Wei Chu looked bewildered after receiving the test paper.
"No, Xiao Wan didn't say there would be a test!"
"Damn it, could the leader of this Order Heavenly Kingdom really be a former principal?"
"Why are they all short-answer questions? Why are there no multiple-choice or true/false questions, huh?!"
Qi Xiao also looked thoughtful as he stared at the questions on the questionnaire.
"【Question 1: What does Order represent in your heart?】"
...
After leaving the 'exam room', Wei Chu felt a wave of dizziness and nausea.
"I'm defeated, I'm truly defeated."
"Watching a crappy video and then having to take a test, damn it."
Next, their group was led to a computer room.
This place was like a school's computer lab, with rows of computers neatly arranged, like soldiers ready for battle.
"Your identity information has already been logged in. Each computer here can be logged into with a fingerprint."
"After logging in, select a Station. You can record what you encountered after entering that Station."
"Were there any treasure chests? Where were they found? What items were opened from the treasure chests?"
"What dangers were there at the Station, and how were they resolved?"
"What resources are available for extraction? Does it have value for re-exploration?"
"After verification, if the intelligence is true, you will be rewarded with merit points."
"Merit can be exchanged for train coins, treasure chests, intelligence, items, etc., at the Virgo Palace."
"Of course, if you can't remember, please do not fill in random information."
"If malicious fake information is detected, your credibility points will be deducted."
"If credibility points fall below a certain level..."
The person paused for a few seconds and smiled:
"I believe none of you here will reach that point."
Wei Chu sat next to Qi Xiao, looking speechless:
"Are they sick? Damn it, who remembers that much? We've docked at so many Stations already."
"Do you remember what you ate for breakfast a month ago?"
The person, upon hearing this, did not get angry and smiled:
"Then you can focus on writing about what happened after you arrived in the New World. The number of Stations should be fewer."
"Even then, there are five Stations! Who remembers that?!"
Wei Chu waved his hand, annoyed. You've spoiled them.
Qi Xiao, on the other hand, sneered.
This Order Heavenly Kingdom is truly a master of getting something for nothing.
Their massive Station database was built precisely for this reason.
In the trading platform, one item has always been a hot commodity: intelligence.
For Train Conductors, the importance of Station intelligence is self-evident.
Knowing the Station's intelligence beforehand, what dangers it holds, whether there are treasure chests, and where to find them.
For example, when Qi Xiao arrived at the first Station in the New World, Six Hotel.
Li Zailong, because he didn't buy intelligence about the Six Hotel and was unaware of its rules, was tricked by Qi Xiao into the Endless Floors.
Qi Xiao, on the other hand, never bought Station intelligence because he possessed the Station Announcement.
Intelligence is an ethereal thing.
What supports the trade of such things is inevitably "credibility."
It's difficult for individuals to trade, so many intelligence peddlers and organizations that survive by selling intelligence have emerged.
Among them, the most powerful, with the largest amount of intelligence, and the most reliable, is none other than the Order Heavenly Kingdom, which has been established for forty years and controls intelligence on numerous Stations.
Even their Wanted Criminals would purchase it.
They created an intelligence lock that stores Station intelligence, with different prices for different Stations.
To open this lock, Order's specially made one-time key is required.
Travelers can purchase these keys in large quantities and then use them to open the intelligence locks.
If an intelligence lock is forcibly opened, the intelligence inside will self-destruct.
Intelligence storage methods include ordinary paper notes, three-dimensional holographic projections, and mystical information.
When the last type is opened, the intelligence is directly input into the opener's mind.
Because the included intelligence is more detailed and the production difficulty is greater, the prices also increase accordingly.
The Order Heavenly Kingdom earned a fortune just by selling intelligence locks.
And what the Order Heavenly Kingdom provides to intelligence providers is only the so-called 'merit'.
